This week our boatlife brings us to Stromboli in the Aeolian Islands, where we are anchored right next to Megayacht Feadship - formerly known as Steve Jobs' Yacht 'Venus'. We realized that Italy is not just a sailing destination for charter boats and cruisers but also a stopover for many superyacht owners, who want to get a glimpse of the volcanoes and beautiful coastline of Lipari, Vulcano, Salina, Stromboli, Filicudi, Alicudi and Panarea. I guess in the sailing lifestyle you always get surprised: One day you see Stromboli erupting right from the deck of your sailboat and the next day you wake up to have Steve Jobs' luxury yacht anchored next to you. But 99% of the time it is doing jobs in exotic places, covered in oil, salt and fiberglass.

Fixing the toilet is an unpleasant job and you really don't want to see it. We joked about a video on the subject but thought better of it! So we made this instead for a laugh??

Within 4 short hours of arriving at the Phoenix Airport, you can be in Puerto Penasco, Mexico and embarking on an incredible week-long adventure diving the Sea of Cortez/Midriff Islands. Experience diving with playful sea lions, snorkeling with whale sharks, seeing giant pods of dolphins and fin, pilot and sperm whales. It's a macro-photographers/videographers dream with colorful nudibranchs, blennies and jawfish. See countless rays, octopus, eels, and fish in greater numbers and larger than you can imagine. It is amazingly remote as you will see no planes and maybe one or two other boats the entire week. Come with us to the Sea of Cortez - where the desert meets the sea!
